Location
Location was perfect - so close to all attractions in the Old Town.
Room size
It was fine - not massive but did the job. It was clean throughout.
Bathroom
The bathroom was too small. You need to walk into the shower area to get to the toilet. I actually have a bruise from hitting the ledge when trying to exit the bathroom. The shower curtain has to rest on the toilet brush which we thought was unhygenic. Whilst the hammam bathroom looks good, it was very slippy which is not good for older people.
Breakfast
The view was beautiful but the food was not good except the honey from an actual honeycomb. The juices were all carton drinks. This is not what I was expecting from a Turkish breakfast.
Service
The service was brilliant. Halleel (man on reception in evening) was lovely and so knowledgable. He is a credit to the hotel.

Authentic Turkish Hotel
Lovely authentic Turkish Hotel very close to the Blue Mosque. Nice breakfast with a good view. Needed a little TLC but it was so authentic and close to everything it didn’t matter.

The hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing and transport links. The room was cleaned everyday. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and very helpful. There is a great choice of food for breakfast. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

This hotel is right behind the Blue Mosque. Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar are all within walking distance. A couple of blocks away are streets of restaurants, some of which have terrace dining with view of the mosques. It's a 300 year old historical building. Balcony has decent view. Breakfast is quite good. Front desk staff are very professional. They go out of their way to help us retrieve an item we have left behind in a restaurant near the Spice Bazaar. We would like to once again thank them publicly.

It was a wonderful hotel. We really enjoyed our complementary breakfast, surroundings.
Some staff members were not too happy about breakfast arrangements because of our earlier departure at 7:30 AM.
There is no elevator and it was difficult for my elderly mother to get to the third floor with her cane. Overall it was fantastic! The view from our room was spectacular! I would definitely com back.

Terrific location within a few minutes walk of the Blue Mosque (view from our balcony at night was unbeatable), the Hagia Sophia (also visible from our room). Loved the restaurant scene a short walk away. Room small (very small bathroom) but excellent breakfast with a view of the Bosphorus (outside sitting optional). T1 tram easily accessible with links to Metro lines to Istanbul Airport. Highly recommend this hotel for all the reasons you want to visit Istanbul.

The view of the Blue Mosque was astounding, we arrived from the airport at night and as we got out we saw the Mosque right in front all lit up. It made our trip. The location was perfect and the garden in front and the restaurant were wonderful. The view from the restaurent was great we really enjoyed eating there. There area around the hotel was very safe and we were able to walk to all the important landmarks nearby.
